I admit, I’m going a little nuts with my scanner.
Blame it on ebooks. I’ve been getting used to the convenience of having electronic copies of paper, which don’t take up space on my bookshelf.
I am one of those infamous people who cut recipes out of the newspaper and keep them, intending to one day make them. And so I have a folder FULL of clipped recipes which I don’t want to throw away because I might actually want to make one of them one of these days.

But on a whole, I am definitely happy to have electronic copies of these recipes, even though Jesus will probably return before I make most of them.
